I just saw this first hand last night. A friend said nobody can join in spades .
I tried to join & I froze, she tried to join & froze. I saw there were only single players in spades & that is very strange. I tried with 2 of my names and the same thing happened. Its that pop up thing in spades that freezes (dont know what to call it ) the one that Pogo says just to Mute (that one)

I tried uninstalling and redownloading Java but that did not work. I went into java console,opened advanced tab, scrolled down to “mixed code” and checked “disable verification (not recommended)”. This appears for now to be only spades, but I will leave it that way for a week to help people get that last pesky badge.

Some users may be experiencing this security message below. Our engineers are currently investigating this situation and are working on a fix. As of now, we know this error message will not occur if your game audio is muted. Some of the games we know are affected are Jungle Gin, Spades, and possibly other Table games.
Have you tried muting the game audio??? The above message is from a Pogo News article.
probably reason i didnt experience any problems i always play with sound muted..for all games..just prefer not to hear..maybe only game i turn sound on for is bingo..if im not paying close attention
The problem with Muting the game is that I get the Pop Up before I even enter to Mute it LOL! So, how do you mute the game from the Lobby ?
The steps in my previous solution were for java 7.13. For version 6 it is advanced tab, open security, open mixed code, disable verification.
Usually if you mute the game sound in any game it will be the default for all games.
Like beyechonjr, I never play with my sound on.
The muted thing appears to work ONLY if the game is not private and not rated. Been working on this problem for 6 hours now and if you want a rated badge it appears to me that you will need to set down the security.
Thank Suz , I never thought to Mute before I go to spades
I guess I’m Odd-Man(Lady)Out playing with Sounds On !
…..kind of keeps me from falling asleep on my keyboard lol
don’t really want to set down the security, guess Java Techs need to get cracking with finding a version that actually works without problems.
(at least they have us secure from cyber-crime) …… I hope….
